I've been feeling pretty down. I learned today that my Daddy has to get surgery. I hate seeing Daddy in pain like this. He has a herniated disk and it's causing him a lot of pain. I've never seen him in pain like this and it's really sad. They have Daddy on a lot of pain killers but it still hurts him a lot. Daddy's sleeping right now because his medicines make him very sleepy. I can here him snoring (he's in the family room & I'm in the kitchen and they're connected.) His snoring is very comforting to me. It's more like he's breathing hard right now than snoring. I try to be here a lot for Daddy because he can't do things on his own right now. It hurts him to stand up and he can't sit so most of th time he's laying down and when he's not laying down he's standing hunched over leaning on something. The only time Daddy really gets to go out is when he goes to the hospital so I try to stay here for him and keep him company as well. Don't feel sorry for me. It's Daddy who needs the sympathy. He would never ask for sympathy though. Daddy will be off of work for about a month because of the surgery and he won't be able to start work (he's a teacher) because of the pain he's in. His surgery is next week and I pray that it all goes well. I'm sure it will but I also pray that it takes all his pain away. I love Daddy so much. He's really like a big teddy bear. Sometimes when he's on the couch I'll go up and cuddle up against him like I'm a little kid again. It's very comforting. (I also do the same with Mommy. I am very close to my parents and my brother but TJ, my brother who is nineteen years old doesn't like it when I cuddle up against him lol so I avoid that.) Well that's it for now.

P.S. Please pray that Daddy's back feels better and please pray that his surgery goes well. <33
